The Weekender

This Weekend, You Dance in Silence

Thursday

PERK ALERT

Bottomless Brunching in Beverly Hills

In honor of fall’s arrival, we’re stocking your cellar with some robust bottles of red wine for up to 53% off, making your mimosas bottomless at brunch in Beverly Hills and framing your face with 40% off a new pair of glasses (or sunglasses) from Tortoise & Blonde. Your face has earned this.

Maybe the Longest Happy Hour Ever

To celebrate 25 sangria-soaked years on Virgil, Cha Cha Cha has a present for you: an all-night happy hour for the duration of 2011. Translation: $5 jerk-chicken pizzas and $10 sangria pitchers, pretty much whenever you want. This is the best thing to happen to Virgil since Matthew Broderick.

Milkmade Clothes at 70% Off

You can feel it. There’s a (71-degree) chill in the air. Time to swing by Milkmade’s big sale and stock up on some layers. Think Unis shirts, Garbstore jackets... and a weekend bag to throw it all in. It’s almost like you live in a town with seasons. Almost.

Friday

CHOC IT UP

Beverly Hills’ New Chocolate Factory

Tomorrow afternoon, you’ll undoubtedly want some bacon-spiked chocolate. If you move some meetings around today, you can sneak out and hit Vosges, the famed purveyor of Mo’s Dark Bacon Bars that’s finally opening a fancy local shop. Bacon or meetings, bacon or meetings...

Saturday

SILENT NIGHT

An Oddly Quiet Rooftop Dance Party

Get yourself on the list for the Palihouse rooftop Saturday and you’ll behold a strange sight—a bunch of people dancing, but no audible music. (It’s coming through everyone’s headphones, which are supplied.) There will also be plenty of barbecue and a full bar. That’s less of a strange sight.

Sunday

EASY AS PIE

Pie Cocktails at Stark Bar

There’s a substantial KCRW pie contest happening at LACMA Sunday, but you’ll be focusing on what’s truly important: booze. Have a seat in the adjacent Stark Bar courtyard and order the Pie Cocktail—it’s key lime pie in a graham-cracker-rimmed glass. No word on a carrot cake Old Fashioned.
